  • Serves San Ysidro, CA

I started my photography business with a simple goal in mind: to capture real, authentic moments that tell a love story in the most genuine way possible. Photography has been a passion of mine for years, and weddings quickly became my favorite because of the emotion, joy, and once-in-a-lifetime moments they hold. I love creating a comfortable environment where couples can relax and just be themselves while I document the magic. Every wedding is unique, and I feel honored every time a couple trusts me to preserve their memories.

HRichardson Photography was absolutely wonderful to work with for our daughters birthday. Hanna communicates very well and responds super quick! She puts the most effort into capturing memorable moments. Hanna made my whole family happy and involved, and even made my baby smile and laugh. We were very pleased with her work and attention to detail. If anyone wants photos they'll look back at every single day, she is the person to take them. Hanna made us very happy and delivered our album of photos the next day. I am just in AWE with how great she is - everyone needs photos taken by her!!

Hi, I'm Heather. I'm a wedding photographer and I will travel anywhere in the world to photograph your day. My style is loose editorial. I bring real direction so you feel confident and know what to do, and then I back off and let the genuine moments happen.

I want your photos to look incredible and actually feel like you, not a version of you that's been posed and polished into someone else.

I can't say enough about Mia, Laron and their team. Of all my wedding vendors, they were my favorite (and easiest) to work with. They were very accessible and easy to reach; I could message my random thoughts and ideas at any hour and Mia would respond almost immediately. They work tirelessly around the clock to get things done so you aren't waiting to get your photos back; mine were sent to me the next day. They are open to suggestions and ideas; I had different visions for my engagement shoot and they were willing to do things out of the norm to make it work. Our photoshoots were fun and unique. I did a boudoir shoot with Mia and she made me feel very comfortable in an intimate setting and it was not awkward at all. Mia is your hype girl! I love their willingness to go with the flow while still getting things done. Mia and Laron complement each other very well. They have different perspective from one another so when they put their heads together, there is more opportunity for creativity, visually stunning work and a unique experience. Highly recommend PKA for any event.

We were completely overwhelmed when we saw our wedding pictures! The photos' color, clarity, and authenticity perfectly capture what we remember of the day. There are also great shots of things we didn't remember, like us canoodling in the venue's background. We felt like Katherine was part of our wedding party, not just a vendor. She was great at directing us for group photos, ensuring everyone was in the right spot without feeling rushed. She is funny and a total photography pro, and now we want her to take all of our images. By the end of the wedding, we had friends asking for her information and complimenting her left and right. She helped everyone stick to the timeline, adjust clothing, engage children, and remind everyone to laugh, breathe, and smile!

Khoa Photography

  • Serves San Ysidro, CA

Hi there! I'm Khoa, a San Diego based wedding photographer who enjoys spending time with good people and road trips. I love all things weddings because witnessing couples' happiness brings me joy and fuels my creativity. I want to create photographs that can stand the test of time so couples can relive their day years from now and for generations to come.

We found Khoa after searching through dozens of photographers in SD County. We planned to have an elopement at the County Clerk's office and wanted someone to be able to capture the intimate moments of the day very artfully since we wouldn't have a big wedding or any guests. Khoa had excellent communication, was very professional, and made our day even more special by agreeing to be our witness. In a way, he brought me a lot of comfort since we didn't have any friends or family there. My now husband and I rarely take photos even for socials or anything personal and are super awkward in front of the camera, but Khoa provided just enough guidance and direction that it felt very natural posing for the camera without it feeling like an entire production or feeling too stiff. I really appreciated that he asked us what we prefer the focus environment should be-- whether its architecture or nature, to ensure that he captures the vibe we were looking for. He delivered the final products very quickly and his post edits were beautiful-- the colors, light, and balance of us and the backdrops were absolutely stunning. I highly recommend his service to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Hi there! I'm Kayla, and I'm so glad you're here! I've spent the past six years capturing love, beauty, and joy across Southern California. Photography has been my passion since I was five, and turning it into a career has been the most rewarding journey. One of my clients shared: "The pictures came out beautiful and had my mom in tears.

Kayla was absolutely amazing to work with! From the moment she arrived, her sweet and bubbly personality made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captured our wedding day so beautifully…every emotion, every moment, and all the little details we might have missed in the chaos of the day. I’m so obsessed with her flat lays and how she incorporated our special keepsakes. I had mentioned wanting my colors to really pop, and she captured them perfectly! Her eye for detail is incredible, and she somehow managed to make every photo feel natural yet timeless. The turnaround time was so quick… we received a sneak peek soon after the wedding, which made us even more excited for the full gallery. Kayla also brought along a second shooter who was just as wonderful, and together they didn’t miss a single moment. We’re beyond grateful to have these photos to look back on forever. I couldn’t recommend Kayla enough to any couple looking for someone who not only takes beautiful photos but also brings such warmth and joy to their day.

📍SoCal + Beyond 📸 Creating Immersive & Editorial Wedding Photos. AKA: Photos that make you FEEL like you were there when you look back at them & photos fit for a magazine. 🔥For ANTI-trend lovers of intention & style. AKA: Those who value personal details over trends.

Our wedding was genuinely a DIY wedding ran by the power of Hashem and our community way back in August 2025. We had one of our close friends, Jordan Daniels, who offered his phenomenal photography for our wedding ceremony. Unfortunately, Jordan had a previous obligation that did not allow him to stay very long past the ceremony, and that’s where Jessica comes in and shines. Jessica was another last-minute investment for us, as it was so important to capture as much of the day we possibly could. Although the wedding ceremony photos are so essential to capture the wedding party, traditions, and family, the reception photos Jessica provided us revealed the authentic joy and celebration the afterparty brought. Jessica was consistently responsive in her communication and fair with her pricing. Her turnaround speed after editing was also surprisingly fast. She understood, because she was popping in later during the reception, there was no need for her to ask to start her photography. She is familiar with the wedding venue scene in San Diego and knew exactly where the reception was without any issues. She is a natural and got started right away on capturing those genuine candid moments. She paid attention to the small details on the tables, the décor, the cake, the dancing, the friends, and the music. We are so happy to see these memories that will be here with us for a lifetime thanks to Jessica Paige.

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough.

Eduardo was very nice to work with since the beginning. He is very kind and professional and just does a great job without adding any stress. He provided some portfolios of previous work he had done, which were very photo journalistic, not just the posed shots, and we knew he was the one! He definitely has an eye for placement, reflections, and catching people’s authenticity. He spent the whole wedding day with us, from getting ready all the way till the sparkler exit. I never even saw him take a break. He even ran with us to get some sunset photos at a nearby vineyard while guests were having dinner. He even got some good shots of everyone on the dance floor without being too in your face, I didn’t even notice he was there! We got all of the photos we wanted and more. Eduardo definitely doesn’t treat his clients as a number, he understands the importance of the day and ensures that he captures it in a way that tells the story of the day. Highly recommend Eduardo for your photography needs!

I would love to connect more with you at katieclarephotos. com! I was raised in Northern California and was drawn to photography in middle school and would enter photos of our family pets or family backpacking trips in our local county fair. My passion for photography grew while working as a hiking guide in Yosemite National Park. I mean… who wouldn’t want a stunning photo of Half Dome? El Capitan? Yosemite Falls? But it has been photographing wedding and couples that I find the most fun and rewarding. I strive to visually capture the “spirit” of my subjects and record an emotional memory of the occasion.

My style is all about telling stories of love, laughter, tears, joy, and all the beautiful chaos in between.

We're not just making photos, we're making memories.

We had a wonderful experience with Ben as our photographer! The day started out very stormy & rainy & it was a little chaotic with getting the wedding party from place to place but Ben did an awesome job getting great shots during the rain storm before the ceremony. After the rain cleared up, we were also able to get beautiful shots in the courtyard, all our family photos, & even sunset photos with some time to hang out with our guests during cocktail hour! Throughout the whole reception Ben & the photographers were awesome with all of our guests & with us! Ben asked us if it would be ok to pull us away for some quick rain photos & he ended up getting the most amazing shot ever (had to upload a compressed version)!

Hey there! I'm Linda. San Diego wedding and portrait photographer. I've been photographing weddings for 8 years and have loved every minute of it. I'd love to chat with you and share how I can help you get the best possible images on your special day while giving you a great experience.

I had the pleasure of working with Linda for our elopement, and she exceeded all expectations in every way possible. From the moment we booked her, the process was incredibly easy and user-friendly. The booking system was straightforward, and I immediately felt confident in our choice. Her communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. She was in constant touch with us, especially when it came to the venue. Not only did she provide guidance and suggestions, but she also took the initiative to visit the site earlier in the week to scout locations with the best lighting and backdrops. Her attention to detail made the day go smoothly. Our elopement took an unexpected turn when it ended up being filmed for the news, causing us to go overtime. Despite the extended hours, Linda stayed well past her scheduled time and even took stunning photos of our interviews. Her dedication to capturing every moment, even the unplanned ones, was above and beyond. With her extensive experience with elopements, particularly at the San Diego courthouse, she had a deep understanding of the best timing and locations for photos, which made everything flow effortlessly. Her knowledge truly helped us maximize our time and get the most out of our special day. On top of her professionalism and expertise, she was a delight to work with. She brought a warm and calm energy to the day, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Her price point was also very reasonable for the level of service she provided. Without a doubt, I would book her again for any future events and highly recommend her to all my friends. If you're looking for a skilled, dedicated, and genuinely wonderful photographer for your elopement, Jalea Photography is the one!

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

We hired Irina for our wedding a few months ago and my husband and I are blown away by how our wedding photos turned out. Irina was so friendly, accommodating, and she truly has a way with capturing the light in her photos. We couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much Irina and we will recommend you to all our friends and family.

Some photographers document a moment; Madeline preserves the feeling of it. She has an incredible eye for composition, light, and detail, but what impressed me most was her ability to capture authentic emotion with such grace and ease. Her photographs feel natural, elegant, and timeless. Madeline's talent is undeniable, but so is her dedication to her craft. She approaches every image with intention and care, creating photographs that tell a story rather than simply record an event.

Hi! I’m Paige Hill — a San Diego-based wedding photographer with a heart for storytelling, a love for romance, and 12+ years behind the camera. With 200+ weddings captured across the U.S., my style is genuine, joyful, and deeply connected. I believe photography should feel effortless and true to you—like stills from your favorite romantic comedy or the lyrics to your favorite love song. I’m here for the real, joy-filled moments that feel beautifully and authentically you.

We chose Paige Hill Photography and couldn't have made a better decision. From our first conversation, Paige was responsive and supportive, making the entire process feel easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, she captured stunning photos with that vintage vibe we loved, and her editing brought everything to life. What really stood out was how efficient she was, she got the shots we needed without eating up our timeline, which meant we actually got to enjoy the party instead of being stuck in photos all night. Paige helped us stay on schedule and made sure we hit every moment that mattered. She's truly the best at what she does and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who gets things done right.
